Swiftly swiping through frozen memories, & I stumbled upon something astounding.
A spectacle that didn't seem to surprise, just another example of the standard sensitized society that we have been settled into for far too long.
It was an image of a couple that I steadily "stalked", per se, but more of supported from a secluded distance. Spread across the picture were the same two sapiens so surely in love; yet I could see the sadness in both their sockets as clear as a sunset on a cloudless day.
Smiles stretched from side to side on both their faces, but if you stared sharply you could spot the sorrow submerged in their souls.
The inseparable twosome were ironically split from each other, standing on opposite sides of a sidekick whose sole purpose was to serve as a distraction to the shadowed love which never dare show its existence to spectators.
Secrets sorted into the minds of offspring, scared to say the truth because of suspicion that they might surrender the love they once secured.
You see, being straight is the sustainable selection for the future of our race, the single method of sharing in the responsibility of our species' survival.
A decision of sexuality spoken during sermon that is made for us by a creator... long before conception.
As sinful as this may sound, I refuse to concede to a forsaken life sanctioned by a story scripted 3500 years ago.
It sickens me to witness a universal sensation of emotion between two spirits be the reason for such substantial suffering.
A person need not be scorned due to their desired source of seduction or for having that undescribable sense of freedom we never discerned was enslaved to begin with.
We don't get to choose what sparks our minds to skyrocket, our knees to shiver, and certainly not our hearts to break.
We are deserving of safety in our own sanity, a sanctuary where stress couldn't search even if it had a warrant.
There ought to be a set of statutes that don't segregate humans for seeking associations with members of the same ***.
The laws we have now are schemes designed to set aside our natural tendency to scour for bliss. Let me tell you precisely why I broke those rules and was sentenced to serve an eternity in prison.
I stole binoculars from the store so I could see a sight too distant for my eyes; I searched a century ahead of our time and spied on a social world not similar to ours, one seasoned enough to where I don't need to sugar coat my findings. Simply put, we surged away from stereotypes and settled into a state of serenity.
Inspired by a photo I saw of a couple I follow on social media. They are beyond in love with each other, yet one is scared to show any affection in their pictures.
